Private Holbox Island Tour (from Playa del Carmen)

Private Holbox Island & Tour (departs from Playa del Carmen)

Holbox (“black hole” in Yucatec Maya) is a Caribbean island in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, located on the north coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. It is approximately 41.84 kilometers long and 1.5 kilometers wide, and it is separated from the mainland by a shallow lagoon that is home to flamingos, pelicans and other rich birdlife. Not yet heavily touristed, the island’s main industry is fishing.

This guided boat trip takes you to “Isla Pájaros” (“Bird Island”), a small island covered in mangrove swamps and cacti, located on the Yalahau lagoon, where there is a large diversity of birds. As some of them are endangered species, two observation points and walkways are provided to minimize the direct contact with the birds. Flamingos, cormorants, herons, frigate birds, pelicans, wild ducks and seagulls among other species can be observed here in their natural environment.

And to wrap up this wonderful encounter with nature enjoy a delicious island-style lunch in one of the island’s most popular seaside restaurants.
